Chapter 187 The boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains
...
The firewood crackled and popped, but no one spoke first.
Yunyue's narration was very simple, with almost no intense emotional expression.
But everyone felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on their chest, a feeling of being suffocated.
"Actually, it's nothing serious, it's all in the past." Yunyue smiled with relief, "The light boat has already passed ten thousand mountains."
"sister!"
Yunxing threw herself into Yunyue's arms, sobbing softly and shaking uncontrollably.
Yunyue gently patted her back: "It's alright, your sister is here."
Even so, a tear rolled down her cheek, making the hearts of the viewers in the live stream clench suddenly.
Countless people in front of the screen were already sobbing uncontrollably.
I'm so crying, waaaaaah!
Hell is empty; all the devils are here on earth!
[Aaaaaah, that heartless adoptive mother! How could she be so cruel? Xingxing and Yueyue were only three years old when they were adopted!]
[I can't imagine how those two little girls have survived all these years. Sending them to a mental hospital is far too lenient a punishment! Their adoptive mother should be torn to pieces!]
...
However, at the same time, many trolls have begun to question this.
[Is Wen Yao alright? Why make someone reopen their old wounds?]
[Yes, Gu Yan knew to let Yun Yue skip it, but she insisted that Yun Yue speak. Now that the Yun sisters are crying like this, is she satisfied?]
[I think she just enjoys competing with others. When Gu Zhu was around, she was always comparing herself to Gu Zhu, but now that Gu Zhu is gone, she tries to belittle Yun Yue and find a sense of superiority in Yun Yue! It's a shame Yun Yue considers her a good friend; is this the kind of thing a friend would do?]
...
But no one expected that the first thing Yun Yue did after comforting Yun Xing was to raise the glass in front of her to Wen Yao:
"Yao-mei, thank you. If I hadn't met you, I might never have dared to tell you the truth in my entire life."
Not everyone is as brave as you.
I offer you a toast with water instead of wine.
Wen Yao's eyes were calm, and her voice was gentle: "No, the truly brave one is you who has never given up on yourself in the countless moments of the past."
Yunyue could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
How did Yao Mei know that countless times she had wanted to give up her life...?
"To courage." Wen Yao raised her glass.
The others also raised their glasses.
To freedom!
"Honor your friendship!"
"To the future!"
"boom--"
The cups clinked together, making a crisp sound.
At this moment, whether it was genuine or feigned, whether it was heartfelt or just acting, at least the camera captured this heartwarming moment.
[I declare this scene legendary in the variety show world!]
Ah~ the body bag feels so warm; the quality of this little epileptic variety show is still rising!
[Yueyue's eyes shine so brightly when she looks at her younger sister; it's the look of someone who's found a soulmate!]
This is the true meaning of live streaming: recording laughter, recording tears, recording beauty, and recording every little detail of daily life.
...
A detective team spontaneously formed on the internet to delve into the details of that year.
The power of the masses is astonishing.
Soon, photos of Xiao Yunxing and Xiao Yunyue as child models were unearthed.
Some little-known details were spotted by the sharp-eyed detectives.
The two children were noticeably shorter and heavier than their age, and their small, thin bodies were heartbreaking...
Exquisite and beautiful children's clothes, when magnified, cannot conceal the bruises and marks on the child's body...
At such a young age, I was always holding an iced Americano to stay awake, forced to consume too much caffeine...
Even more heartbreaking is a video posted by an anonymous netizen.
I'm sorry that I'm only releasing this video now. I'm ashamed that I don't have Yunyue's courage.
On the one hand, it's because I have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise, so I have too many concerns. I need to think more about myself and my family.
On the other hand, I am well aware that my influence is limited. Even if I post it, how many people will believe me?
Thanks to the wildly popular variety show "Survival of All", public opinion was amplified to its maximum extent.
I also want to thank Yao Mei; it was through her and Yun Yue's daily interactions that Yun Yue mustered the courage to finally reveal the truth to the world!
His Weibo post also included a secretly filmed video.
The image quality is somewhat blurry, and the clothing and appearance of the people in it are different from current fashion trends.
The video was filmed in winter, and the person breathes out air when they speak.
A woman wrapped in a thick down jacket like a quilt, wearing fur-lined snow boots, and holding a hot water bottle in her hands.
"Did I tell you you were tired? Who gave you permission to say you were tired?!" The woman's voice was shrill and hysterical.
The camera panned down and captured two children who were almost skin and bones.
To look good on camera, child models in real life are often thinner than they appear in photos.
The two children, one wearing a short dress and the other wearing short sleeves and shorts, were both dressed in summer clothes.
Besides, they didn't even have a down jacket, let alone a blanket or scarf to wear.
Little Yunxing said cautiously, "Mommy, I'm so sleepy, I can't keep my eyes open, they feel like they're glued on..."
"Haha." The woman chuckled briefly, pinching Xiaoyunxing's chin. "How about Mommy uses super glue to stick your eyes back on now? And your nose, and your mouth too..."
Xiao Yunxing's expression visibly turned terrified.
"Mom, I was wrong, I know I was wrong..."
"Good girl." The woman praised her, but the next second, she kicked Xiao Yunxing in the stomach without hesitation!
Xiao Yunxing was kicked to the ground.
The woman raised her foot, intending to crush the child's stomach, while cursing and swearing:
"Your belly is so big! Your ribs are sticking out! You know that will affect the photos! Pull your bones back in!!"
Xiao Yunyue protected her younger sister in time, and the woman's foot stomped hard on her back.
"Mind your own business! You're asking for it!"
The woman cursed and increased the force of her blows.
Xiao Yunyue remained silent and endured it all.
"Fine, fine, you're tougher than your sister, huh?" The woman picked up a glass of iced Americano and poured it all over Xiao Yunyue's head without spilling a drop!
In the dead of winter, with the biting north wind, it's not just cold to have ice water poured on your head.
It is pain.
"What's going on?" Some staff members heard the commotion and came to check.
The woman quickly tossed the empty cup aside and said with a forced smile:
"Oh dear, those two children are so naughty, all they do is play around, they're so inconsiderate. I'm so sorry to have caused you so much trouble..."
The staff looked down at the ground.
Little Cloud Star is in slightly better condition.
The stray hairs on Xiaoyunyue's forehead were frozen into clumps.
Perhaps they didn't notice anything unusual, or perhaps they sensed something was amiss. After a few seconds of silence, the staff member said:
"Come over as soon as you've rested, don't delay the filming schedule!"
"Okay, okay, coming right away!"
The video ends abruptly.
The hearts of viewers across the internet were gripped with apprehension!
